“The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.” -Vance Havner

Halloween-time seems like a fantastic time to resurrect this blog from the dead. It's long over due, and I think I've missed it. So here I am giving it another try.

Welcome back to those who use to read my ramblings. Hello to any of you just finding it. I'm clearly not the same person that I was when I was originally posting here. But, the things I said in this post http://autumns-flame.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-am-me.html still hold true.

You won't find much pagan talk here anymore. I still consider myself pagan, but I'm really questioning my beliefs at the moment. So, unless I have some sort of magical break through there, I won't be talking about my religion. The other site that I use to write for is dead as well. There will be no more mention of BeShameless. Also, no more blog memes or give-away posts. I've deleted most of those from the archive, and I won't be putting them back.

But, that's enough talk about what was and what isn't. Let's talk about what is and what I hope to be. You see, I'm edging my way toward 30 years old and I'm having a crisis. It's either a late quarter-life or a very early mid-life; either way, I'm having one. I've come to the stunning realization that I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. Nor, do I know what I want to do with it. I have several short term goals (which I'm sure I'll talk about soon), but not one long term goal. I can't see a big picture, and it's making me wackadoodle.

I guess, I'm hoping that writing again will help me. I'm not sure how or why; I just feel that it is something I need to do. I have to start climbing those metaphorical stairs from today's quote. In the meantime, I'm hoping I'll be able to entertain you along the way. Maybe you're going through the same thing and we can help each other.

I'll post here once a day (at least) for 30 days. This will be in addition to my NaNoWriMo writing and my vlogs. November is normally a month that kicks my ass... This time I've decided to kick it in the nonexistent face. I will be super productive and that will be my first step on those stairs.
